I went on a data base to look at Symmetra beam damage because after getting flanked-killed by Moira many times I felt that something wasn’t quite right.
There’s the thing, Symmetra’s damage drop from 60 to 37 when she hit a new target, in the other hand Moira have a basic 50 that heal herself for 20 per second.
As this make more or less sense, Moira can’t really lose on a 1-vs-1 against Symmetra no matter which of those two flank the other
Are the numbers accurate?
You should never be setting yourself up to be flanked by a Moirah. Stick to your healers and use tp defensively.
But yeah, Sym has a ton of bugs to fix. Including her sketchy clunky tp placement coding
I don’t know if it’s been fixed (haven’t used beam in a while) but Symmetra has a bug that makes her damage drop if she loses contact with a target when using the beam.
But to win a 1v1 against Moira as Symmetra, use your TP. Moira’s beam will target the TP instead of you.
Is this still a bug?
I just want to say that if that bug is still there then that means they nerfed sym’s primary for nothing and the “omg sym op” crowd during unnerfed double shield were legit wrong and all the more reason to buff sym now.
If I remember right, they fixed that for her and Zarya beam. They put that drop into place to solve a different bug with their beams, but have since fixed said bug and removed the initial drop.
Edit: it was fixed in patch 1.39 and nerfed the very next patch
Time for those Double Shield meta nerf reverts
